Residents
in Tanglewood, Uptown and surrounding communities searching for after-hours
care for non-life-threatening conditions now have a new option where they can
get immediate diagnoses and treatments without appointments.

Memorial
Hermann Urgent Care Tanglewood provides walk-in care seven days a week for
a variety of illnesses and minor injuries. Staffed with board-certified family
medicine physicians from Memorial Hermann Medical Group, the new Urgent Care
combines the comfort of a primary care practice with the convenience of
extended office hours.

“Memorial
Hermann Urgent Care Tanglewood is the latest example of Memorial Hermann’s
commitment to expand access to primary care across the Greater Houston region,”
said David James, M.D., senior vice president and CEO of Memorial Hermann Medical Group. “We
know that a strong primary care network can help form the foundation for a
healthier population. Memorial Hermann’s concerted effort to add Urgent Cares
throughout the community helps ensure that patients in Houston and surrounding
neighborhoods are getting the right care they need at times that are convenient
for them.”

The facility is capable of treating patients as young as six
months old, and offers an array of services for non-life-threatening conditions
including flu, fever, earaches, insect bites, sprains, simple fractures, eye
injuries and cuts requiring stitches. Each Urgent Care is capable of
providing X-rays and laboratory services on-site, as well as wellness and
prevention services, including physicals and immunizations.

“Urgent Care can be a wonderful solution for families on the go,”
Dr. James said. “We understand how valuable a patient’s time can be, which is
why we offer a service allowing patients to check in online and reserve their
spots. When the doctor is ready to see you, we’ll send you a notification so
that you can continue your daily life without having to sit in a waiting room.”

Memorial Hermann Urgent Care Tanglewood is
open from 9 a.m. to 9.m., seven days a week for walk-in access and is located
at 5885 San Felipe, Suite 325, Houston, Texas 77057.
